Plot Summary:Set in the realities of post-war Poland, the film tells the story of mourning parents setting off on their last journey with their son, as seen from the point of view of their grandson Jan. The son of Hanna and Jacob, a Home Army soldier Waclaw \"Odrowaz\" Szewczyk, is shot by the secret police in the autumn of 1946. After suffering a series of humiliations by the new authorities, who continuously desecrate their child's corpse, Hanna and Jacob decide to provide their son with a proper burial in the Paclawska Calvary, 500 km away. Their venture through Poland - a country still haunted by the post-war nightmare, becomes a metaphorical journey into the depths of the human soul and an attempt to reorder the world in which neighbors turn against each other, and where one's current enemy may become an unexpected ally.
蒙特利尔电影节补标。在电影节看的时候还叫Pardon，很准确地总结了剧情，但隔了两个月印象不深了，主要是作为剧情片人物弧光不缺，但是原谅的主体母亲在片头的情绪太平淡了，这显得旅程上的种种冲突喧宾夺主，尤其是德国士兵这个人物引入和的设计感多少有些刻意了。
